GURNEE, IL, May 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) We currently have an oral surgeon in A Northern Chicago Suburb and one in New York to do collections but are beginning negotiations with a surgical group that is in 30 cities across the U.S.
Stem Cells from Developing Tooth Buds can be the Answer to a Prayer or a Fountain of Youth. Stem Cells from Tooth Buds are an Ethical Alternative to Embryonic Stem Cells for Therapy. New Heart Foundation founder Dr Wayne Franco believes that stem cells from developing tooth buds may be the key to treating autism, brain trauma, hypoxic brain injuries and stroke. These priceless cells are readily available.
Dr Shapira firmly believes that there is an excellent chance that these cells will one day be able to act as a "vaccine" against aging. Future uses of these cells cannot be guaranteed but stem cell science is advancing at an amazing pace.
Early removal of third molar tooth buds offers numerous advantages over current treatment of wisdom teeth in terms of morbidity reduction. The normal removal of third molars carries risks of dry sockets, impaired healing, damage to other teeth, parasthesia or permanent numbness of the lip or tongue, damage to TM Joints that can lead to severe pain, development of RSD or complex pain syndromes that can lead to permanent painful lives.
Dr Shapira wants early prophylactic removal of third molar tooth buds to become the national standard of care due to reduction in morbidity. The stem cells are a bonus, that may be more valuable then we can possibly imagine currently with stem cell research still in early infancy as a science.
New Heart, LLC has patents pending in the US for treatment of autism, brain trauma, cerebral palsy, hypoxic injury to the brain, multi-infarct dementia, and stroke using adult stem cells. New Heart, LLC also has patents pending in Europe for the treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the brain and pancreas (diabetes).
New Heart's latest interest is stem cells derived from tooth buds. The optimal time to remove tooth buds is ages 7-12. It is New Heart's hope that these stem cells will have a role in the treatment of neurological disorders. Most stem cell companies are about one type of stem cell. It is New Heart's vision to combine more than one type of stem cell for optimal success.
Dr Franco is currently providing an opportunity for patients to have prophylactic removal of wisdom teeth buds and subsequent processing, evaluation, and storage of stem I recently heard from Dr Wayne Franco of NEWHEART LLC about the incredible growth of the stem cells collected from a developing tooth bud.
We expect that as further processing of these cells continues we may also find extensive quantities of neural cells.

Unfortunately, many patients suffer from these conditions. In addition, there is little in the way of available treatments for these conditions. United States statistics for these conditions include: Stroke: 6 million patients, Brain Trauma: 1.7 million, and Cerebral Palsy: 1million.
Dr Franco is now working with a Gurnee dentist, Dr Ira L Shapira, who is president of Dato-Tech and has method and device patents on the collection of stem cells from minimally invasive prophylactic removal of wisdom tooth buds before calcification.
Dr Shapira's vision was to reduce the morbidity of wisdom tooth removal while simultaneously collecting and storing stem cells from the developing tooth bud. These may actually be more powerful for treating neurological injuries because they develop from the neural crest. Dr Shapira's concept was published in a letter to the editor in the July 2010 JADA, Journal of the American Dental Association on morbidity associated with third molar removal.
Dr Wayne Franco considered these stem cells an answer to a prayer. He would now be able to help an even greater number of patients. Dr Shapira believed the best time to collect cells was between 7-12 years old when it could be done in a minimally invasive procedure in just a few minutes.
Dr Franco has taken this one step further. Utilizing Dr Shapira's easy technology stem cells can be collected at almost any time until 12 years old from other developing teeth with little or no discomfort. While Dr Shapira was focused on utilizing third molars that often create problems Dr Franco saw the promise of utilizing stem cells from other earlier developing teeth.
Dr Franco calls this "The Second Chance" and hopes by combining his work with Dr Shapira's a new paradigm can be created.
The doctors are currently looking for a manufacturer for the device that collects and stores the stem cells for processing. Dr Franco would like to see a single storage company for all stem cell collections from tooth buds. If there is a paradigm change this could literally be millions of samples per year.
Dr Shapira believes that in time these multipotent stem cells will act as a fountain of youth and help reverse many of the symptoms of aging.

Many people tout the beneficial effects of probiotics in preventing and/or treating several intestinal diseases, including ulcerative colitis. Although there have been few, if any, good clinical studies evaluating the clinical efficacy of probiotics, preclinical data suggest that probiotics and approaches utilizing probiotic-derived products could be effective therapies for acute and chronic gastrointestinal disorders. In this context, a team of researchers, led by Fang Yan, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, have now identified a new probiotic bacteria–derived ...

Men who visit art galleries, museums, and the theatre regularly tend to enjoy better health and are more satisfied with life, reveals a study published online in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The study found that both men and women who play musical instruments, paint or visit the theatre or museums felt in better health, enjoyed life more, and were less likely to be anxious or depressed then people who do not participate in cultural activities.
However, the effect was most pronounced in men who were interested in watching and looking at culture ...
Surge in parents taking kids with common medical problems to emergency care
2011-05-24
The number of children taken to emergency care departments with common medical problems has risen sharply over the past decade, reveals a study published online in Emergency Medicine Journal.
During the past 10 years, the way that the NHS provides care at night and at weekends for common medical problems has changed.
The family doctor is no longer responsible for providing that care and advice to worried parents, with large private companies now generally contracted to provide this instead.
Researchers looked at the medical records of children under the age of 15 ...
Most children with head injuries are seen in hospitals not equipped to treat them
2011-05-24
More than four fifths of children who turn up at emergency departments with head injuries in the UK are seen in hospitals which would have to transfer them if the injury was serious, reveals a study published online in Emergency Medicine Journal.
Around 210,000 children attend hospital every year with a head injury and around 34,500 are admitted. A few children with serious head injuries will require emergency surgery and intensive care, and delays to the provision of this can prove fatal or result in severe disability.
The authors surveyed 245 hospitals in England, ...
CT angiography for low-risk heart patients leads to more drugs and tests without benefit
2011-05-24
Coronary computed tomographic (CT) angiography, which can detect plaque buildup in heart vessels, is sometimes used as a screening tool to assess the risk for a heart attack. However, the usefulness of the test on low-risk patients who do not have coronary symptoms, such as chest pain, has been unclear.
In the first large population study to assess the impact of the test on physicians and patients, Johns Hopkins cardiologists found that having CT angiography leads to more prescriptions for cholesterol-lowering medications and aspirin, as well as more stress tests, nuclear ...
Weight gain between first and second pregnancies increases woman's gestational diabetes risk

OAKLAND, Calif., May 23, 2011 – Compared with women whose weight remained stable, body mass index gains between the first and second pregnancy were associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in the second pregnancy. But losing weight between the first and second pregnancies appeared to reduce GDM risk in a second pregnancy, particularly for women who were overweight or obese to begin with, according to a Kaiser Permanente Division of Research study appearing online in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.
GDM is associated with an increased risk ...
